two parts rotated in a direction to unserew or'separate the sleeve and cover. When this is accomplished, the sleeve will drop down to the position shown in Fig. 2, leaving the:`

across the top of the box, the absence of a downwardly projecting flange on the cover or an upwardly projecting flange on the Vbox permitting Athis operation. lVhen the powder' is thus evenly distributed on the pad, it may be evenly applied to the skin without producing unsightlystreaks. It will be seen that with a boX having a flange project-ing above the perforated top, diflieulty would be encountered in getting the puff into the space inclosed by the flange unless the puff and cover were of much less diameter than the flange. Furthermore, it would not be as easy to distribute the powder on the puff if such a flange were present.

To close thel box, the sleeve l2 is lifted until the pins 16 or the threads 17 can engage with the grooves or threads l5. Then,

the flange on theY upper edge of the walls of the box; whereupon, by the continued rotation of the cover with respect to the sleeve, the coverwill be caused to travel downward against the top 4 of the bo-X, and by exercising a little force, the padded face of the cover will be compressed so tightly against l the perforated top that the escape of powder through the perforfatio-ns will beL impossible. In the form shown in4 F ig. el, the padded face of the cover has a different shape 'from that shown in Figs. l land 2 and may pass some distance through the single perforation in the top of the box to come in contact with a paste or a solid substance used for the toilet, which ,may be afterward evenly distributed upon the pad by rubbing it over the table-like top Ll as above described.

Having described' my .invention7 l clainu- A dispensing receptacle comprising a box having a perforated top, a flange proj ecting above said top' when the box is closed, a pad-carrying cover for said top normally embraced by said flange, and means whereby the flange can be dropped below the perforated top when the box is opened for usey In witness whereof, l subscribe my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
